Symptoms

It's been 3-4 days since I've been trying to launch Elite Dangerous (which worked very well). But now I have an error window:

Exception initializing application:
Could not find a part of the path 'C:\users\steamuser\Local Settings\Application Data\Elite Dangerous Launcher_evidencehere'.

I tried with Proton 5.13-2 and 5.0-10. I also deleted the folder "359320" in "compatdata". Still nothing same problem...

Reproduction

Just launch the game
